Hibernation…
Maren was nice enough to let me practice my picture taking on her family. This was the park she chose. I had fun and she has such an adorable family. Her boys are darling. I got their a few minutes early and wandered around a bit.
I’ve noticed that moving to a new place always requires a bit of settling time to grow accustom to one’s surroundings and the people in it. The people here are easy to love and very welcoming. I did realize today that the surroundings have taken a bit longer. I almost feel like things that I loved to do in the past have gone into hibernation…I have forgotten them. Being outside today in such a quietly, serene atmosphere reminded me of how much I love being outdoors(Most people are shocked that I enjoy the great outdoors and the mud. I think it stems from a dad that refused to let his little girl be ignorant to nature and survival). I was hit with a wall of flooding memories -camping, rock climbing, fishing, hiking and the nightly walks Will and I would take when we were first married.
I guess its time to wake up some of those hibernating loves and give them an occasional nod or even a part in my life again. Life changes and we grow. Day by day we, ourselves are changed through those experiences we collect. I just hope I can always be changing for the better.
The train track was a big hit with Henry. He is a train fanatic.
